Abstract

The term flyover had become a byword and has elicited different reactions among common people. Some people showed indignation because they cannot foresee that by putting up this kind of structure may not ease the traffic congestion within an intersection but instead it complicates the traffic problem. This research study therefore, would be part of extensive study that was undertaken to determine effects of flyover construction to the way of life of the motorists and commuters, and in general travelling public. In addition, this is to make them aware of the advantages and disadvantages that it may bring to their everyday life of activity. To reduce traffic congestion at an at-grade intersection near a big city, one method is to construct a flyover bridge at the old junction in two directions on one of the main roads. The flyover facilitates the traffic flow in the directions of the bridge, but the infrastructure cannot fully solve all the problems especially on the secondary road. Under the bridge, although it relieves the traffic congestion at the intersection, traffic signal can be considered as one of the solution.
